I'm understanding RWR's and Tom's different point of views here but I see this "thread" (pun intended) has turned to petty back and forth instead of talking about the topic.
But going back to the topic: The basalt threads seem like they may have some very practical uses:
They used to make "jackets" that wrap around your large tank style water heater, (for those without Paloma style heaters) and the old ones were made of fiberglass and not completely fireproof. Basalt seems like a great idea here.
Or maybe firefighters might benefit from a suit made from the material?
